Well, the hits just keep coming for the Tampa Bay Lightning. Just as their game with the Carolina Hurricanes, the team announced that rookie defenseman Declan Carlile would be out of the line-up for four to five weeks with a lower-body injury.
The 25-year-old rookie took his 17th and final shift of the game against the Detroit Red Wings at the 6:40 mark of the third period. He had a couple of shot attempts and didn’t appear any worse for the wear (at least on camera) at the end of the shift, which stopped with John Gibson stopping Jake Guentzel on a breakaway.
